Full Van Hollen: We Need To Make Taiwan Into A ‘Porcupine’
source
Porcupine? How pedantic. More like a poison dart frog – deadly!
You got Stingers and javelins and Shore to ship missiles ……duh.
"WE don't need to make Taiwan sh*t"
US hubris will be the death of civilization. A nation unilaterally and routinely abandons tears up decades long agreements which kept us safe. A nation now sending Ukrainians to their slaughter in a proxy war brought on by US arrogance. US spies money weapons were inserted into Hong Kong in recent violent episodes. US with 700 military bases has a dozen of them encircling China as if WERE THE WORLDS COP. One million dead Iraqis. One million dead Afghans. Both nations in rubble. Now US commands China to bow to it's will. Over Taiwan a land which US ACKNOWLEDGES IS PART OF CHINA. You can be certain if Taiwan was not a chip powerhouse US would walk away from the Taiwanese it's now attempting to goad into ANOTHER WAR. Today we're 8 billion humans and every year another 80 million net new precious humans join us. Gunboat diplomacy. Saber rattling. Instigating coups assassinations. Overthrowing governments. None of these are acceptable in the year 2022. Congress is loaded with self styled bellicose miniature Napoleon's like this man. Zero time, money for diplomacy. We export only war today. Violence on an unimaginable scale. Congressional Military Industrial Complex, world's largest socialist organization literally owns and operates Congress. $30 trillion debt largely to fund a never ending flow of violence suffering death.
Workers should own and control the means of production.
The vietnams?
What happen if Russia and China decide to make Cuba a porcupine? Where do we get these leaders?
ALLL NIGHT LONG DA DO DO DA DO DA DO ……….ALLLLLLLL NIGHT LONG!!!!!!
VAN HOLLEN YOU LEAD THE CHARGE AND I WILL FOLLOW YOU!!! UNLESS YOU ARE GOING TO HIDE IN YOUR HOUSE AND SEND SOLDIERS TO DO YOUR DIRTY WORK!!!
US politician is so stupid。
Same, China and Russia should make all South America countries into "porcupines". 👍👌
Mind our own borders
China wouldn't have any problem devouring a porcupine. They probably consider that a delicacy.
He sounds like a brilliant strategist with the ole porcupine trick
Schumer is a good senate leader – that's not to say that others didn't play a role in things in the senate recently. What Schumer has done recently is allowed the senate votes to paint a picture of the Republican party. The real enemy, like in China, is the Fox News censored media.
I am having a miserable life in Taiwan. The government is doing nothing. People do not have their rights to speak and there's no freedom of the press. Prices are rising dramatically but the government simply ignores this. I really hope people can realize what the real problem is. No one cares about Taiwan.
We need to make the world a more dangerous place, sell more weapons to feed the military industrial complex.
美国就是祸乱之源，美国到处制造分裂和混乱，就连美国自己国家也是各种分裂和混乱，人种歧视和枪击，美国再不出伟大政治家就等着分裂和灭亡，已经几百年历史了，大限将至
"Make Taiwan into a Porcupine" sounds like code word for "If war breaks out, you're on your own!"
THIS BILL WON'T HELP ANYONE UNTIL YEARS FROM NOW AND THEN IT WILL DO VERY LITTLE . ALL TALK AND BLUSTER IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING AS USUAL.
Who is going to pay for this? American taxpayers, with endless cycles of debt and inflation, enriching the military-industrial-Congressional complex.
Why did USA stopped Taiwan from developing nukes in the first place in the 60s?
USA also encouraged Ukraine to return Soviet nukes. See what happened today?
If Americans argue guns keep America safe, nukes keep the world safe.
